No. Confidence.
That said, Georg probly has a better chance of winning a TdF stage than Levi has of winning either a stage or GC.

First off: Levi wont win the TdF and Totschnig will do well if he gets top 10.
Yet you make the classic mistake wich a lot of people make around here: They figure that a pro has to be good in every race.
Ullrich is testing himself and will maybe win the TdS. He will probably do good in the TdF (podium). BUT that doesn't say Tottschnig training/preparation calls for a strong TdS. It could be that Totschnig is really in bad shape, but it might as well be that his trainer wants him to do some more extensive efforts and doesn't want him to dig to deep. (Basso is obviously saving strength.. so why would it be bad for Georg?)
